I understand that the alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta runs concurrently with the collegiate chapters, meaning they don't have activities through the summer, at least not that are open to the public. Since this past fall, I've attended many of the alumnae chapter events and managed to make personal contact with a few of the members, including the President and VP. The VP and I are alums of the same high school, which has a website where I can contact her. Two of the girls and I workout at the same gym, but are on different schedules. One girl has done my hair before and I call to chit chat with her every now %26amp; then about her job. During the summer months, any advice on how to build on those contacts so as not to feel like I'm starting from scratch when the coming fall seasons gets into swing? I know it's important for them to know who I am, more so than me knowing them. I just don't want any of them to feel that I'm pestering them while I'm trying to get them to KNOW me.What advice do you have to build relationships from contacts made with a few sorority alumnae chapter members?
You may want to talk to all of them to see if they feel the same way. Set up a once-a month lunch meeting to network. Tell them they can bring a friend to the group, too, they don't have to belong to the sorority.
Keep everyone's phone number and e-mail address in your contacts list on your computer. Don't send them junky forwarding stuff - just actual networking issues and planning the next meeting.
